A comprehensive approach and a very detailed video
Love Lachlan as always. The live rolling footage is great.
Awesome!!
Detailed information
Good stuff!
I cant wait for volume 3 to go on sale. This series is the foundation of my game.
Lachlan is a great teacher. Every detail is covered and he demonstrates everything in a live roll as well. I enjoyed this instructional. My DLR game improved and I feel much more confident using these positions in training.
Lachy is the best of the best. So glad for this.

Very in depth and concise instruction from Lachlan. Just days into studying small parts of this instructional and I’ve already managed to troubleshoot and fix a lot of issues I was having with my nogi DLR controls. Great companion piece to volume 1 and looking forward to putting it all together with volume 3. This is an instructional you’ll be able to come back to over and over to continue to build small details to improve your game.
